Expanded polystyrene (EPS) has a low density (25 kg / cubic meter), high strength, low water absorption, acid, noise insulation is good, good insulation, earthquake, decoration, easy to shape, etc., and excellent cost performance, it has been the rapid development in industry, agriculture, transportation, military industry, aerospace industry and other fields are widely used commodity, packaging, construction, household appliances, etc. can create considerable economic benefits .
EPS products because of unique quality, low price, wide application field. In addition to cushioning packaging, food preservation, packaging, interior and exterior wall insulation, insulation, and other aspects of a large number of applications, the continued construction in recent years, the industrial sector becomes less impressive. EPS outstanding contributions in building applications is its thermal insulation performance, it's widely used in the construction can reduce the use of air conditioning and heating energy consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In Western Europe, for example, the total amount of EPS EPS building materials accounted for 70. In 2008 Olympic Games held in Beijing, China, China's industrial policies and market demand will play an active role EPS materials, the prospects look good.
